An Ideal Starter Kit for Younger Children
If your child has graduated from Lego Duplos and is ready to take on a real Lego set, the City Corner could be the place to start. Its modular designs and easy-to-follow instructions makes it relatively easy to build out the set.

Our advanced nine-year-old tester completed the entire set in about two hours. The set comes with some bigger pieces, making it easier for younger users to build.

A Complete City Corner
The City Corner is a real hopping place. At the heart of the corner is a three-story pizzeria with a glassed-in storefront and a pizza maker flipping a pizza. A business man waits for the bus at the bus stop as a boy on a skateboard rides by on his way to the skateboard shop.

The corner also includes a fire hydrant, street lamp, potted plants and several other accessories that give the street corner real city charm.

Five Figurines and a Movable Bus
Included with the set are five figurines -- a bus driver, pizza girl, skater boy, mechanic, and business man -- as well as all the pieces you'll need to construct a big city bus complete with side mirrors, headlights, windshield, and plenty of seats. Once constructed, the bus itself measures over seven inches long.

What's in the Box
483 standard Lego pieces that include five figurines (bus driver, pizza girl, skater boy, mechanic, and business man), many accessories, and instructions.

This Lego set includes 5 figurines and parts for a city bus.

My kids (7 & 8yrs old) are Lego fanatics, and this is their favorite set so far. I bought this along with a Lego Community Workers set and they have spent hours playing with it! They have set up a skate and bike shop - the friendly mechanic there sells bikes, helmets, and skateboards, fixes wheels and also services the bus. There is a pizza shop where friends meet and Moms and Dads have date nights (LOL), the place is always packed. The bus stop is always busy with people waiting. The bus is amazing and can hold many people.

I love the educational value of this set. It is hard to find real-world role playing toys for boys so they can act out real life situations. I highly recommend getting the City Corner and the Community Worker minifigure set together. Now we are deciding what other places we will build - like a school, a grocery store, a hospital. The City Corner can be the jumping-off point for building your entire Lego city!

You can't beat Legos for durability. I know these toys will be in my family for as long as they are wanted.

This set should be at the top of your child's list!

My Son is Now Addicted to LEGOS!

My 8 year old was kind of into LEGOS so long as he had assistance, but this kit inspired him to work solo. He loved creating each structure and is eager to build more parts of Lego City! Love how each building or bus is in its own bag - makes for quick play. The directions were easy for my son to do on his own. He is HOOKED. :)

So detailed!

Reviewer: S. Alred,

This price is very elevated right now. I hope it because it is right after Christmas as I am writing this and unfortunately some people over charge at Christmas, hopefully it will come down from $98. My 7 year old received this for Christmas. He was into trains, but now he is really into Lego's. He is in the process of creating a "Lego City" on his old train table. This set is a great addition. It is so detailed. The pizza shop has actual booths and tables where you can let the people sit. Also it comes with 5 lego people. The Bike shop is also very detailed, There are bike helments on display in the shop. The buss has seats in it and you can let the people actually ride inside the bus. I would buy this again as a gift and I definetly reccommed it. Sure, Lego's can be messy, but they are only young once and Lego's allow for creativity and imagitive play, which is better than video games.

Great Product

I was leary to spend the money on this Lego product because I thought it would be too difficult to assemble. I was also worried that it would not stay together once built which would cause my 7 yr old much frustration, hence I would be re-building it over and over again. On the contrary, my son built it himself and has kept it assembled. He has dropped the bus a few times and I have had to fix it but I found if you push the pieces together tightly while building it it will stay together longer. I find my son doesn't push the bricks together tightly when building and I think some of that is due to his hand strength vs an adults. I would recommend the product.
